Hill's Extravagance or Worse.
Washington, June 15.—The Hill
commission resumed its sitting this fore-
noon. It decided to resume the exami-
nation of the Steinmetz in connection
with the charges of fraud autl corruption
in the construction of the postoffke.
Witness had concluded his calculations
and was prepared to show the differ-
ence between prk-e paid by the govern-
ment to contractors for dressing stone
for the entire building and actual
cost based upon a liberal estimate for
labor. The tota^ amount paid by ihe
government to contractors was $88,700.
The cost to contractors, allowing a lib-
eral estimate of at least 30 per cent for
profit, $443,700, leaving $375,000 unneces-
sarily paid by the government. The
basement and a portion of the second
story having been begun under the 15
per cent, contract, and completed under
a modified contract, these per cents,
could not be included in the calculations.
The estimated difference in the two
prices would add about $100,000 to the
previous total.
This concluded Steinmetz's testimony,
and the question arose whether defense
would admit that some excess relatively
existed in the cost of other public build-
ings erected under Hill, or whether the
prosecution would be required to repeat
their proof with expert testimony as to
each. Auditor .Alexander suggested that
as the same principle would extend to
all buildings, it would seem to devolve
on the prosecution to connect Hill
with fraud charged in this alleged ex-
travagance in the erection of the Phila-
delphia building. Coleman replied it
might be as bad in principle to steal
$50,000 as $2,000,000, but the defense
might saj*, I admit extravagance, but
y ou are not connected with any fraud. A
long discussion ensued, flavored with
several shaip passages between counsel.
The point, however, was not decided,
and the commission adjourned until to-
morrow, when Steinmetz will be cross-
cxamined.
Washington, June 15. — Secretary
Liucoln will not decide at present what
disposition will be made of the captured
Apaches. He will wait until he re-
ceives more definite information from
General Crook.
LKTEL BEADS,
Han Carlo* Indians and Secretary Teller.
Washington, Jane 15.—The follow-
ing telegram was received by Secretary
Teller to-day:
San Caslos, Jane 14.—A large num-
ber of leading Indiaus met in council
to-day. They sent for me and earnestly
protested against the return of the Cbi-
ricabua men and boys. They say that
trouble is sure to follow such a course.
They want the chiefs and head-men
punished, and the other men sent where
they can't return. They don't object to
the women and children coming here.
They ask me to make known their views
on this to yon and General Crook,
and urge their adoption. All bands anite
in rtil« request, They say they desire to
remain at peace with their white neigh-
bors, bat Chiricahaus will return to the
warpath as soon as they grow strong
again. Reservation Indians will then
be charged with having aided and en-
couraged them. With confidence in the
wisdom of the authorities who have to
decide matters I promieed them to pre-
sent their petition as evidence of the jus-
tice of their position.
[Signed j Wilcox, Agent.
Secretary Teller telegraphed Wilcox
directing him to receive no Chiricahaus
except children. The secretary says the
bocks mutt take care of the women.

To Hon. T. M. Teller, Secretary <0 Interior:
Sir.—Iu couuection with previous cor-
respondence ou the subject of the re-
moval of ! roops from western Colorado,
which subject was brought to the atten-
tion of this depar merit l>y your refer-
ence of the Sth ultimo, of a petition by
the citizens of Grand Junction, Colorado.
I have the honor to inform vou that the
matter having been referred to the com-
manding general of the military division
of the Missouri, he reports under date of
the 2nd instant that -'The the canton-
ment on the Uncompahgre, Colorado,
will not be taken up, as u is quite im
portant for the protection of the settlers
at Grand Junction, and oth.-r interests
in that section and along the line of the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad. The
camp at the White river will he broken
up and the troops sent elsewhere, at the
interests to be watched are not very
great, and the post is very expensive."
Very respectfully.

The Missing Krnm.
1st Louis, June 15.—An application
was made this afternoon in the probate
court by the attorneys ot Mary Manning,
one of the heirs of the For.l estate, ot
which the missing .Judge Chester II.
Krum was administrator, for the ap-
pointment of another person to take
charge of the estate. Attorneys state !
that from an examination of record-, it
was found that false (-t itemeats and set-
tlements had been tiled in court. Mrs.
Manning stated that Krum had $ iO.OOO
to $50.000 which was due her.
CJarenee Newcomb, of 'I'lllei's detec-
tive bureau, returned to-day, and con-
firmed his previous statement that Kinm
had traveled wish him from San Fran-
cisco to Ogden. Krum registered as
James Reilly and traveled under that
uatnu. His. ticket was for Salt Luke
City, but at Ogden he suddenly changed
his mind, saying he would go to Park
City mining district in Utah. He gave
Newcomb the siip, and uothiug has been
heard of him since.
Horsey Orates .Jubilantly.
Washington, Jute 15.—S. W. Dor-
sey was serenaded lute this evening at
.his residence by the coloied republican
clubof tins city. He iradeti brief speech
iu acknowledgment of the courtesy, in
which he said: "I thank you from my
heart; you have shown courage in call-
ing here this evening. I thauk you not
dnlv for myse'lf, but for all the defend-
ants. I thank you not only for the de-
fendants and their families, I thank .you
for the courage you have shown in the
presence of all the dishonor ttiat the
government has tried to put upon me,
in plastering the graves of mothers and
the cradles of babies with infamy by un-
just power. You are brave enough and
you are strong enough to raise up your
Voice ond your right baud against this
attempt at injustice. I thank you for
the pluck shown in the face of power.
"There was not a government large
enough; there was uot a public treasury
department fruitful enough; there was
uot gold enough, and there was not ex-
ecutive power great enough t» seduce
the honesty of twelve honest men. I
don't care about myself; it is a matter
of little consequence who is convicted or
who is not; it i? a matter of gi eat conse-
quence whether there is any government
powerful enough or wlieti.er there is any
treasury full enough to crush down a
citizen however humble. This trial and
this verdict has placed upon the courts of
justice a splendid record of manhood. A
jury made up of democrats and republi-
cans, colored and white men, Protest-
ants, Catholics and Atheists, all agreed
that the nieu charged were not guilty.
So it turns out that in the District of Co-
lumbia, where the cloud power casts its
shadow over every individual, twelve
men can be found who would not ben 1
the pregnant hinged of their kuees that
thrift might follow fawning. A halo of
glory and of truth will hang about them
as long as they live. Good bye. I thauk
you."

Dorsey Writes to Martin.
Washington, June 15.—Ex-Senator
has written the following letter to .he
newly elected secretary republican na-
tional committee General John A. Mar
tin. of Atchison, Kansas:
Dear Sir:—At the time when 1 was
confined in a dar^ room, notable to see
the walls that ?uirounded me, I received
a letter from you, which 1 answered by
dictation, as I have been obliged to do
for months past. 1 suppose thut it turns
out that the stenographic notes were
never transcribed, 1 regret this, for the
reasons ihar I should not wish to feel
gnilty of such intentional discourtesy.
! When 1 was appointed the secretary "of
the republican national committee at the
request of General Garfield, and accept-
ed the place at the earuest solici-
tation of General Arthur, representing
Grant side of the house, and* then Win.
K. Chandler, representing the Blaine
side. 1 made the same request of Gov-
ei nor MeCormiek, who was my prcde-
ebssor. that you have made of me. 1
had all thnt time a fanciful notion thai
the records have been kept of the repub -
lican party that showed its life and pur-
pose. that would leave a permanent
history of its existence; prove what had
transpired in 1S56, 1800. 18G1, 18G3, 1873.
and that*record belonged to the republi-
can national committee, and that the
secretary was the proper ciistodiau of It.
The answer I received froui Governor
MeCormiek was that no re«-ord had been
kept; that the iHmfiiv ef lorgetfulnos*
was built at the end of each campaign.
••It ie believed an.l will be believed all
the tiuio that there is no; a sciap, word
or line in any record that will show a
wrongful act on the part of any p r»o;i
charged with the duty of represen big
the party during a natioual campaign'.
Mr. Chandler gave Governor MeCormiek
no record; Governor MeCormiek told
me he had no records to give. They were
1113* predecessors and von are my succes-
sor I have nothing more to give to you
than they had to give to me. I have a
mass ot' papers relating to the last iaui-
paign. They are ■ hiefiy made up of let-
ter's addressed and letters written by me
to^others in which no oiil; could ha\e
the slightest interest except to the cut -
ous."
